Remap Sketchup default keys for orbit & pan with middle mouse button.
Script default keymap mimic 3ds max and works only in sketchup but you can change it easily.
This solution works on only windows.
| Action | Before (SketchUp default) | After running script |
|---|---|---|
| Orbit | middle mouse | alt + middle mouse |
| Pan | shift + middle mouse | middle mouse |
if you don't want to change the keystrokes or script, just download "3ds_max_keystrokes.exe" file and run it on your windows.
After running script (whether .exe or .ahk version) an "H" icon will be added to your taskbar:
For pausing/existing the script, just right click on "H" icon in taskbar and choose "Suspend Hotkeys"/"Exit":
If you exit the script, you should re-run the file for activating remmaping.
You'll need autohotkey for running the script.
Download "Sketch_mouse_remapper.ahk".
Open the script file (".ahk" version) in a text editor:
-
If you want to make remmaping available everywhere not just in sketchup, remove the first line "if WinExist("ahk_exe SketchUp.exe")".
-
if you want to change the keystroke for orbiting, change last line "!" meaning "Alt" to your taste accroding to the symbols table.
Finally exit the current running script, save the file and run it.
| Symbol | keystroke |
|---|---|
| ^ | Control (ctrl) |
| + | Shift |
| ! | Alt |
